The truth about global warming - it's the Sun that's to blame
By Michael Leidig and Roya Nikkhah (Filed: 18/07/2004)

Global warming has finally been explained: the Earth is getting hotter because the Sun is burning more brightly than at any time during the past 1,000 years, according to new research.

A study by Swiss and German scientists suggests that increasing radiation from the sun is responsible for recent global climate changes.

Dr Sami Solanki, the director of the renowned Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen, Germany, who led the research, said: "The Sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures.

Al Gore invented global warning.

It's all the fault of white republicans.

The research adds weight to the views of David Bellamy, the conservationist. "Global warming - at least the modern nightmare version - is a myth," he said. "I am sure of it and so are a growing number of scientists. But what is really worrying is that the world's politicians and policy-makers are not.

"Instead, they have an unshakeable faith in what has, unfortunately, become one of the central credos of the environmental movement: humans burn fossil fuels, which release increased levels of carbon dioxide - the principal so-called greenhouse gas - into the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to heat up. They say this is global warming: I say this is poppycock."

It's Bush's fault.

Now, if it were still Hillary's presidency, SHE would be receiving credit for SOLVING the problem of global cooling with this "stunning discovery"!

[Blzbba]

I thought this was all Bush's fault.

[sandlady]

Gore's a liar.

"Now, if it were still Hillary's presidency, SHE would be receiving credit for SOLVING the problem of global cooling with this "stunning discovery"!"

The shadow cast by that woman's ass alone can drop the room temperature by four degrees.

So is Elliot Spitzer, (or whatever his name is) now going to sue God for causing global warming instead of power companies?

Global warming has finally been explained: the Earth is getting hotter because the Sun is burning more brightly than at any time during the past 1,000 years, according to new research.

So what does this mean to all the "global dimming" reports we were hearing a few months ago?

[Mike Fieschko]

I read a science-fiction novel some years ago in which the Earth had plunged into an ice age, because the sun's 'output' had gone down. Turned out that it had been going down for quite some time, but only industrial 'greenhouse gases' kept our temperature normal.

So, when the enviro-wackos got into power and reduced 'greenhous gas' emissions, we got an ice age.

I wish I could remember the title and author(s).

The sun was shining on the sea

Shining with all her might,

She did her very best to make

The billows clean and bright...

I take any new "science" discovery or update to theories with a grain of salt. The scientific community has grown arrogant and forgets how much we don't know.

Whats a "Terlegraph"?

In the words of the 9/11 Commission "it was the result of a failure of imagination".

I recognize that this is just one study, which might or might not have valid conclusions, but it seems newsworthy insofar as it challenges the conventional wisdom about global warming. Now, the media pride themselves on challenging the conventional wisdom, but I'd bet the ranch that you won't hear about this study on the evening news. Too many people have invested too much time, energy, and money in the politics of climate change in order for them to want to admit that it's just the sun, stupid.

[Steve_Seattle]

If further research supports this theory, will we see an editorial in the New York Times apologizing for its uncritical acceptance of conventional global warming theory? Will they congratulate Bush for his skepticism regarding the conventional theory? No, and no.

[Steve_Seattle]

Actually, the Daily Telegraph is one of the few Brit publications that has a slightly conservative - or at least middle-of-the-road - point of view.

Make the sun sign Kyoto, and get a U.N. sanction against it.

It's all the fault of white republicans.

Since the NAACP piped up on this, it has to mean that the attorney generals filing suit are confident in their ability to win one like the tobacco case.

The NAACP wants some action. It would be weird if they were giving up on obesity lawsuits.
